mstream at Mac App Store analyse

mStream is designed by Ekomsys, LLC to help broadcasters whether they are running satellite channel or a youtube channel, stream live content easily from mobile device. This app gives you the ability to broadcast live video and audio from your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad devices to any server that supports RTMP publishing of H.264/AAC stream (Facebook, YouTube, Adobe Media Server, Wowza, Red5, or any other digital media broadcast and live video streaming platform servers.) Typically when you have any channel e.g. on YouTube or Facebook they provide you with the URL and stream name that can be used to stream audio and video to the server. mStream gives you flexibility to save those settings in cloud so you dont have to enter those settings every time you use the application. You can just start the live broadcast with one tap. How to test it? Best way to test is to import encoder settings from YouTube account. You can also create a custom preset by adding the information manually. Typically the format of the URL is rtmp://server:port/streamname Settings: mStream gives you flexibility to tweak various settings to suite various scenarios e.g. on WiFi you might want to stream with higher quality and higher resolution while on cellular network you might want to stream with lower bit rate and lower resolution to minimize data transmission. You can tweak various parameters: Bitrate - It is the amount of data that is processed in certain amount of time. Resolution - Video resolution that will be used to stream content. Server URL - URL to the media server Frame Rate - Number of video frames in 1 second. Presets: Presets are the settings that you can save on cloud so that you dont have to enter various parameters for streaming again and again. You can add any number of presets in the application. Typical use case is that to steam on youtube live you might want to have a preset that you want to use on WiFi and a preset that you may want to use when you are using cellular data.
